Abstract
SUMMARY: By means of light and electron microscopical techniques, the organization of the reproductive tract of femaleMoniliformis dubiusis described. The tract consists of an efferent duct system associated with 2 ligament sacs present in the body cavity. The efferent duct system consists of uterine bell, uterus and vagina. The uterine bell contains a complex system of routes and is associated with the ligament sacs in a way that facilitates egg sorting. The dorsal and ventral ligament sacs exist with separate cavities at the posterior end, where they are attached to the efferent duct, but merge into a single sac at the anterior of the trunk.This publication has 16 references indexed in Scilit:
